MPAS-Tools

MPAS-Tools includes a python package, compiled Fortran, C and C++ tools, and scripts for supporting initialization, visualization and analysis of Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) components. These tools are used by the COMPASS (Configuring of MPAS Setups) framework within MPAS-Model used to create ocean and land-ice test cases, the MPAS-Analysis package for analyzing simulations, and in other MPAS-related workflows.
